Oscar-winning filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola has spent nearly 40 years of making his magnum opus, Megalopolis, a film that mixes modern-day New York City with ancient Rome to create New Rome. In this setting and constantly dreaming of the future is Adam Driver’s Cesar Catalina, a brilliant inventor and architect who is always striving to achieve perfection in his building designs. One thing holding him back is that he’s constantly at odds with the city’s Mayor Cisero (Giancarlo Esposito), although Cesar is also in a relationship with Cisero’s daughter, Julia (Nathalie Emmanuel).

Also featuring a cast that includes Shia Labeouf, Aubrey Plaza, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Talia Shire, Jason Schwartzman, and more, Cinema Daily US has seen Megalopolis and you can watch Edward Douglas’ video review above.
